The Road to Partition
2021On the 22nd June 1921 King George V and Queen Mary arrived in Belfast for the official opening of the first Northern Ireland parliament.

The King’s visit to Belfast was the culmination of three centuries of history – and three years of political brinkmanship and brutal communal violence.

One hundred years on, this is the story of the dramatic events that led to the partition of Ireland.
